Shorty Impact Award: “Rebekah”

Written By Jon Groat

As part of HRC’s legislative work each spring that monitors all 50 states for anti-LGBTQ+ bills, the nonprofit wanted to push back on legislation taking aim at trans youth. One of my proudest moments was seeing the political producer I hired and mentored, Wes Jones, create this amazing video—he had really grown into an amazing videomaker. I supervised production of the video from conception to delivery, including providing creative direction to Wes. It generated significant buzz online and earned a Shorty Impact Award.
